Former World Number One Serena Williams wasn't letting the lack of a seeding slow her down yesterday as she crushed Alona Bondarenko to reach the second round of the WTA Toronto hardcourt tournament.<br /><br />Williams, a 13-time Grand Slam champion, steam-rolled Ukraine's Bondarenko 6-0, 6-3. The American lost just four points as she won the first set in 16 minutes and after Bondarenko kept it on serve to 3-3 in the second Williams again hit high gear, winning three games to secure the victory.<br /><br />The match was so quick, it was almost as good as having the first-round bye enjoyed by the top eight seeds.
